Family Rafting on the Lower Seti River

Trip Features:

  • Diverse landscapes: explore jungles, waterfalls, and traditional villages.
  • Camp on secluded, scenic beaches.
  • Ideal for beginners and family-friendly adventures.
  • Experience a unique journey: paddle from Pokhara to Chitwan National Park, a refreshing alternative to bus travel!

Seeking a memorable family adventure? The Lower Seti River, just a short 1.5-hour drive from Pokhara, is your ideal destination. This serene river showcases Nepal's beauty, taking you past quaint villages, terraced rice fields, mesmerizing waterfalls, and suspension bridges. What's more, the dense jungles along its banks teem with diverse wildlife.

The highlight of the trip is a night under the stars, camping on a pristine sandy beach. The river’s mild to moderate rapids, combined with its warm water and the trip's culmination near the renowned Chitwan National Park, make it a harmonious blend of safety and thrill, tailored for families.

Worried about your kids' safety? We’ve got it covered. We offer child-sized safety gear, including globally recognized helmets and personal flotation devices. Our experienced crew not only ensures safety but also has a knack for interacting with children. While the minimum age for this adventure is generally 5, it can vary depending on factors like water flow, child's size, and their comfort with water.

For those with older kids craving more adrenaline, we offer rafting, kayaking, and canyoning on rivers like Upper Seti, Trisuli, Kaligandaki, and Sun Koshi. Share your family details, and we'll help craft the perfect whitewater journey for your young adventurers!
